I decided to start seriously losing weight February 2019, but it wasn’t until May that I seriously got into it, and I lost 31lbs by December. I went from 220lbs to 189lbs and during that time I was the happiest I could remember in a long time. My clothes fit better, the daily walk I have to do up the hill in my neighbourhood got easier, and what I found most exciting (and a very nice surprise) my dimples became more prominent.
I’m a student, so mid-December I finished my semester and headed back home for Christmas. It went really well. Yes, I ate a bit more than I probably should have during the holidays, but when I got back to school in January and checked my weight I had only gone up 5lbs. I got right back into counting calories and measuring everything and those 5lbs were gone in a week in a half.
Then I just...stalled. I don’t know how it happened but I lost all motivation. In the beginning, I started all of this because I’m graduating in April and I wanted to be able to look at my graduation photos without feeling embarrassed. I can’t even look at my high school grad and prom photos without feeling disgust, and I didn’t want that again.
Now it’s February and I’m still at 189lbs. I will say that I am beyond grateful that it hasn’t gone back up in the 200s, but I just feel so lost. I remember thinking back to when I was losing steadily, and being so confident that I could do this, that I had found a sustainable way to lose that I could maintain to get to a healthy weight. Now I don’t know what I’m doing. I’m not going to give up and throw all this progress away, I’m just not, that’s not an option, but I don’t know how to get over this. I guess the simple answer is to just start back up again, and I’m going to try, I really am.
I don’t know why I made this post or what I expect from it, but I just really needed to get all of this out, and this sub helped me so much when I finally got serious about losing weight. If anyone has actually bothered to read this far, or even any of this at all, thank you.
